A post by Adam Speirs made a useful suggestion in response to a question by Alan Dove: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2007-07/msg00338.html In particular, he posted three functions. I have gotten them to work, they are simple. I am uncertain how they interact with Org Mode, whether they work in a harmonious fashion with the clocking code in org mode. I didn't figure out how to turn off the clock! So I rebooted when I needed to restart. I could edit his functions and insert exactly what I need. I liked them because they don't require me to diddle around with properties and drawers, with which I am yet somewhat uncomfortable. A further suggestion is born or my initial experiment with his function: I started the clock a bit too late, so all the timestamps are off by about 30-40 seconds. Is it (at least in theory) possible to adjust all time stamps in a subtree by the same amount? That would enable me to correct all of my notes in one fell stroke. Thank you.
